I have officially started on Christmas cards! Only I just made one and have a lot to go. Hopefully I can keep up this momentum. ha.

The ornaments are from the Lettering Delights Christmas Dee-Licious svg set and I cut them out with my Silhouette SD using Silhouette Studio. All of the paper is from Stampin' Up except for the white, which is from Paper Trey Ink. I think the twine is from Divine Twine. I also used my little sewing machine to sew around the red patterned paper. The white squares are embossed with the Sizzix stars and swirls embossing folder and punched with a 1.5" square from Creative Memories. One ornament is hanging crooked but I'm leaving it. I used a sketch from Retro Sketches.

In case anyone is wondering, these are the settings I use for cutting out Stampin' Up cardstock: blade 5 (4 might be enough), speed 5, pressure 33, double cut (it will cut through with a single cut but some sharp corners do better with a double cut).

It looks more realistic with an ornament hanging crooked anyway....I mean, all of mine hang that way when I get them on the tree! Love the design on here and the stitching around it is perfect! VERY pretty.Lynn

I have quit updating my old crazystamper.com website and I've had the domain redirected here to my blog. My old recipes are now at my new recipe blog and I'm in the process of transferring the recipes from this blog to that one.
